About one o'clock yesterday afternoon the lire bell rang and in a short time the two hose trucks were on their way up Front Street to Ridge where the lire was burning in the rear kitchen of the house of Condy Boyle. Before the apparatus was gotten as far as Walnut Street word was received that the lire was out. The lire originated in the shanty back of the stove in some manner whereby some rags ignited and set lire to the wood work. _ Still in the Service. The many friends of John W.

The report was accepted and ordered paid. The burgess not being present no re port was received from that official. Under the head of reports of com mittees, the street committee reported that the drain on Front street was laid ami also the gutter on Main Btrcet at the expense of the property owners. The report was accepted. Under the head of new business, Mr. Burton stated thattbe men employed by him on the streets were dissatisfied with the wages paid them by council, and ask ed that something be done for them as they are working hard. No action was taken on it. Councilman Donop stated that the work of taking off part of the hill on Walnut street was going on and that Mr. Hugh Boyle would lay a gutter on his side of said street, along his property, provided the council would leave three feet for a sidewalk. The request was granted provided Mr. Boyle would move his fence in one foot at the upper end of the lot, so as to come in line with his house. The following persons came before council and were exonerated from dog tax, having complied with the resolu tion of the council by making affidavit that they owned no dogs : Michael Gal lagher, A. 11. Jacobs, Jonah Evans, Mrs. Elizabeth Evans, James Edgar, Br. Mr. Joseph Neuburger came before council and spoke about the condition of the sidewalk on the west side of Centre street, from Mr. Thomas Campbell's along the properties of Patrick J. Boyle, Manus Conaghan and Peter Timony to South street, and asked that council take some steps to have the same put in pass able condition. A motion was agreed to that the parties owning the above de scribed properties be given 30 davs no tice to lay their sidewalks, otherwise the street commissioner to see that it is done and charge the cost of doing it, together with 20 per cent, additional, to the owners. Mr. 1). J. McCarthy spoke about the estate of Mrs. Margaret Jane Johnson, and of some land taken by the council for the use of the borough, from Raid estate, without her consent or know ledge, and asked council to make amends for the same by paying for it. The matter was left to the street committee and the borough solicitor with instruc tions to report at the next regular meet ing. Mr. Neuburger again took the floor and urged upon the members of council the necessity of employing a night policeman or watchman, giving some very good examples that came under his observation. An interchange of views by nearly all present took place, but no understanding was arrived at. The street commissioner stated that a pipe or gutter be placed across Ridge street on Walnut; and it was agreed to pur chase cast iron pipes for that purpose, and the secretary was instructed to as certain cost of such pipes. A petition was presented, signed by a number of the residents of the borough, asking council to take steps to open a sidewalk on the west side of Ridge street, between Main and South. The president appointed Patrick Doris, A. A. Bachmnn and Frank Depierro a commit tee to report at the next meeting what steps are necessary. There being no further business before the council they adjourned to meet the fiast Monday in October. llurougli Ilomls Cancelled.

Lub recht were appointed a Committee on Assessments.— Wilkes-Nam Newsdealer, FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1890. A Mystery Solved. What promised to be a great sensation, and one that is true, would bring dis grace to our borough, was quietly nipped in the bud on Sunday afternoon. For the past two weeks an umbrella mender lias made his home in the brush below Maine street, almost in a direct line with the proposed new road now being opened from Freeland to Highland, and during the day time plied his vocation among the neighboring villiages; while at night he retired to his couch beside the creek and slept the sleep of peace with no fear of a landlord's warrant to frighten him. As was often done before on Sun day he took a day oft and in the creek washed his under clothing and other garments, while he beaver like proceeded to build himself a dam to enable him to take an ablution in the clear spring water that flows through the creek. While busily engaged at such work his nerves were unstrung by his hands coming in contact with what he supposed was the bones of a human being. After consid erable trouble be unearthed a bundle of old rag carpet wrapped with wire and supposed to contain a skeleton of a child. The gentleman sought the officers of the law in the persons of Squire Buckley and Constable Quigley, and to them imparted his tale of a deep crime having been committed by some person or persons unknown to him and as a dutiful citizen said "that it was his duty to so report it." With visions of an in quest and the prospect of making a trip to the county seat with the culprit, the two dignitaries of the law, together with some half a dozen others, made all possi ble speed to the scene of the supposed tragedy, and there lying on the bank of the crock, and in close proximity to the camp fire of our nomadic citizen, lay a heap of bones, prominent among the I lot being the head and jaws of a cat. It I is needless to say that the cavalcade re traced their steps in slower measure than i when they went there. The question which has agitated the members of the council for the past three years, namely, "where was Rink er's graveyard," has been solved. A closer examination of the vicinity will no doubt throw more light on the ques tion, but who will start the investigation is the all absorbing topic; surely not the i two limbs of the law above referred to, for they say "they have had enough for one day." Thought Sho Was Murdered. The little villiage of Hopeville, in Black Creek township, was thrown into a state of dire excitement on Tuesday by the rumor that Mrs. Elizabeth Hast ier, wife of Henry Hastier, a worthless fellow, living at that place, had been mur dered. Forsomeyears back Hastier was in the habit of abusing his wife, and re cently his abuse of her took the form of openly striking her in the presence of his neighbors, anil the woman herself had frequently complained that he illused her. On the 2d inst. about 11 o'clock p. m., after coming home, the usual j abusiveness was commenced and Hastier was seen to strike his wife in the face. I She immediately went to bed and did not leave it until death put an end to her suffering, she having died very suddenly on Monday afternoon. The feeling against Hastier grew more , intense when it became known that lie had left the house Tuesday morning, and, as he had not told anyone where he was going, suspicion naturally fell on him as having accelerated or been the ! cause of her death. As time passed, | and no one was able to account for his j sudden departure, the feeling of the ! people grew into bitter denunciation of ! him and they appealed to Justice of the ; Pease Henry Dinkelacker to hold an in quest and ascertain the cause of her death. The Justice telephoned to Dep. Coroner T. A. Buckley, who proceeded to the spot, and on his arrival empaneled the following jury : Joseph Neuburger. Henry Dinkelacker, James Seiwell, Geo, Zimmerman, Rufus Lash, George Mack, who viewed the body and took testimony. The evidence procured at the inquest went to prove that Hastier was in the habit of frequently beating his wife and that he had done so a few days previous to her death. The jury adjourned to al low a post mortem examination on the body, and the Coroner appointed Dr. E. L. Yeager for that purpose. On re assembling the Doctor's testimony was taken and it went to show that there was no violence used nor any marks on the body such as would cause death and that her death was caused by an acute attack of erysipelas, and a verdict to that effect was returned. During the investigation of the wit nesses old man Hastier returned, and when questioned as to his whereabouts since his wife's death said "he was away making preparation for the funeral." When put on the witness stand he seem ed to be greatly agitated, and said "he did not see what they wanted with him." It is well for him that the investigation was held, as now he can rest contented that the cause of his wife's death cannot be literary traced to him, otherwise he would have to face the vengeance of an angry, out just people. Motion for a New Trial Overruled. Almost the last hope that the murderer George W. Moss has for life, failed away when Judge Rice read his opinion in court Monday morning, refusing the plea for a new trial. All of the grounds ask ing for another chance for tlie prisoner, carefully and scarchingly prepared by his attorneys, were gone over by Judge Rice and their unstability explained in full. The decision is in accordance with the wishes of the people, and Moss will hang unless the Board of Pardons or the Governor interfere, which is not likely. Moss was sentenced by Judge Rice oil Tuesday to be hanged in the county jail. However, it is to be supposed the de fendant's attorneys will make a strong effort to have the sentence commuted to imprisonment for life. The Place to Get Your Clothing;. I.

Both clubs were very strong and the game was consequently well played on both sides. The visitors had a slight advant age in batting and by this succeeded in scoring 3 runs, while Drifton made but 2. Hayes and Schmear was the battery for Jeanesville and Heiser and Mulvey were in the points for Drifton. The fol lowing is the score by innings : Jeanesville 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 o—3 Drifton 0 0001100 o—2 THE CLIPPERS VICTORIOUS. The Clippers, of Wilkes-Barre, and the home team played a close ten-inning game at tho park on Sunday afternoon in the presence of a very large crowd. The Clippers having been defeated by the home team some time ago were anxious to overcome this and came well equipped for the occasion. The home team wns ahead in the early part of the game, but, through a number of orrors, they lost the lend and could not regain it. However, tho score was tied when the nine innings were up and another inning was ordered to decide the contest. In this inning the home team scored 3 runs and the visitors were fortunate enough in placing four to their credit nnd were thus declared the winners. The batteries were : Freeland, Welch and Simmons; Clippers, Freeman and Zeller. Below is the score by innings : Clippers 2 020 0 0000 4—B Freeland 0 0 4000000 3—7 Weekly Coal Report. There is a marked improvement noted in the anthracite coal trade. There is considerable inquiry for coal, and the j local demand has very materially in creased during the past week. Egg coal has become scarce for immediate de lievery, and stove and chestnut sizes are now moving more actively than they have been for several months past. While there is considerable free burning white ash coal being sold at a discount from the circular prices, because of its I uncertain quality, yet the superior brands of anthracite from well known collieries are commanding figures very close to if not the full circular prices. There is a strong disposition on the part of the Le | high and Schuylkill operators to advance I the prices for coal to the line and city | trade, nnd an increase of about 15 cents I per ton is looked for about the 15th instant. The accumulated stocks of an thracite at tidewater shipping points are decreasing, and the Reading Company has now less than 90,000 tons of all sizes at Port Richmond, while a month or two ago it had over 150,000 tons stored there. The Western trade is also Improving, and the increased demand for chestnut, stove and egg sizes from that quarter has re sulted in prices for coal at the breaker being advanced from sl.Bo@s2 per ton to $2@2.15. There is little new demand for anthracite from the East, but there is still considerable coal being shipped to New England nnd Long Island Sound ports on old contracts at the prices which ruled prior to the liißt advance. J The total amount of anthracite coal j sent to market for the week ending August 30, as reported by the several j carrying companies, was 821,444 tons, ! compared with 865,145 tons in the corrcs j ponding week last year, a decrease of -13,761 tons. The total amount of an thracite mined thus far in the year 1890 was 21,935,982 tons com pared with 22,400,- 408 tons for the same period last year, a decrease of 464,426 tons.— Ledger.
